Honestly, this shot isn't very engaging for me. I like the idea, but don't think it works. A deeper depth of field, so the leaves were more recognizable, while still keeping them slightly out of focus, may have worked better. Just my opinion of course.
I'm not fond of the shot because the subject is not really framed altho its is by DoF which is debatable. Aside from that I find the clarity of the ducks appear to be a tad over sharpened which takes away from the beauty. I am also not fond of the DOF of the leaves and find it takes away more then it adds to this photo which is why I'm not fond of it. I think you did a great job not getting any hot spots off the water tho. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
